Treatment details for the field experiment to determine the performance of preservative treated hardwoods with particlar reference to soft rot

IRG/WP 384

F W Brooks, M R Gayles

These notes are compiled to complement and supplement Document No: IRG/WP/367 which described the plan for the treatment of the stakes, using a CCA preservative, for the field experiment. This document gives extra details of the treatment characteristics of the different timber species and as such may give IRG members useful information on the sapwood permeability of a range of hardwoods. The report may also be useful when planning further trials in this investigation when the performance of stakes treated with other preservatives is examined.
